Forbidden Passion

Chapter 364 Tearing Off the Mask

John stood by the door, watching Phoebe pack her luggage. She looked delicate and beautiful.

Then he noticed a bite mark on her neck.

His eyes filled with pain, and he quickly looked away. He heard Phoebe ask, "John, how did you guys think to check the filming footage?"

John cleared his throat. "We asked the crew. They had a grudge against Miss Fitzroy, saying she was arrogant despite not being famous and acting like she had connections. They said she always messed up her scenes, driving everyone crazy, but thought she was great."

Phoebe glanced at John. "She's only been here for half a month. How did she make everyone hate her so much?"

John said, "Because she's high-profile. I overheard the crew gossiping that Miss Fitzroy claimed to be Mr. Reynolds' fiancée, throwing her weight around. Everyone avoided her." Phoebe frowned slightly.

Vanessa shouldn't make such a rookie mistake. She wasn't keeping a low profile. What was she thinking?

"Wasn't her dream to become a superstar?" Phoebe said.

John replied, "I don't think she's very career-driven. Otherwise, she wouldn't have used such an important performance to scheme against you. During the survival show on the deserted island, only Mr. Reynolds thought she was any good." Seeing Phoebe's stunned look, he quickly added, "Ms. Ziegler, I didn't mean it that way, I..."

Phoebe zipped up her suitcase and said nonchalantly, "It's fine, no need to explain."

John felt regret. Seeing her lift the suitcase, he quickly took it and said, "Ms. Ziegler, let me handle this."

Phoebe let him take the suitcase. She grabbed her bag and left with John.
